Betty, a Staffordshire bull terrier, was forced to undergo emergency surgery to remove the arrow after it became lodged halfway through her body from the oesophagus to the small intestine. Her owner Emma Watson, 38, from Swanley in Kent, believes her pet found the item after disappearing into her seven-year-old daughter Lilly-Jay's playhouse when a gust of wind opened the door. She heard coughing and spluttering and rushed in, but saw nothing untoward after the incident in May. The following day however, Betty, eight months old began vomiting and went off her food.

A man shot a cat 19 times with a metal bb-gun in Indiana. 5-year-old Rubix had 18 BBs lodged inside him.
The Garfield look-a-like was shot by Kayla Haskett former roommate's nephew. Caesar Mendez, 19, has been arrested after a traffic stop on Monday. He has been charged with animal cruelty.Hasket told CNN, "He's my miracle kitty, and I always knew he was special. He is in little to no discomfort. The vet said he probably would not have discomfort. I would like to have surgery to remove the bb's, but it's a little expensive, so I'm trying to save up the money for that."
The 18 metal bbs stuck inside Rubix was shot over a period of one month's time. Through January to February, Mendez allegedly shot the cat 19 times if not more. Mendez claimed the cat tried to scratch him and he was trying to defend himself.

The ad, which carries the tagline, "Studies Show Vegetarians Have Bet ter Sex," shows lingerie-clad stunners getting "intimate" with vegetables.
Over the Top Thanksgiving Turkeys
Suntanned Turkey
Deep-Fried Turkey
This is it — traditional turkey with all the trimmings, except Jive Turkey owner Aricka Westbrooks deep-fries her turkeys in a pressurized fryer. This method yields crispy, golden-brown skin and remarkably tender, juicy meat that's ready in just 18 to 24 minutes. But this technique is not to be attempted by amateurs (it's even illegal in some states), so it's best to order from the professionals, like Jive Turkey, who ship nationwide.
Turducken
What would this list be without the opulent Cajun delicacy known as turducken? Part turkey, part duck, and part chicken, this bird-in-bird-in-bird masterpiece will provoke oohs and ahhs of delight. The Blue Star's version, which they ship nationwide, features deboned turkey stuffed with boneless chicken wrapped around duck breast fillet, layered with sage-butter bread stuffing and Andouille stuffing. Oooo-wee!
Lifelike Vegetarian Turkey
Forget tofurky — that vegan mainstay looks nothing like the real thing. Make way for the Vegetarian Plus brand Vegetarian Whole Turkey! This faux-meat bird is shaped like a real turkey, replete with drumsticks and a golden exterior, and is made from non-GMO soy. The whole turkey kit comes with a 4-pound turkey, a pound of Himalayan Barley Fried Rice as stuffing, and a pound of gravy.
Barbecue Whole Turkey
Described as the "prime beef" of the white-meat world, Joe's barbecue whole turkey comes in regular-, Cajun-, or jalapeƱo-smoked. As long as you live in the continental U.S., you and 10 of your loved ones can enjoy this slow-cooked Texas masterpiece on Thanksgiving. The bird ships cooked but frozen, so order early enough to allow 72 hours to thaw.
Thanksgiving Dinner Cake
Why stop at the main course when you're craving turkey? Delight your guests during dessert with this sweet Thanksgiving Dinner cake! The cake, which can be prepared in any flavor, is frosted with just the right shade of chocolate buttercream. Trimmings are created with colored frosting, whipped cream, cinnamon-dusted challah bread. Delish!
Beer-Can Turkey
We're not sure who invented this moist method of meat cookery, but beer and poultry make great partners. For detailed instructions on how to cook a beer-can turkey on your home grill, we turn to a post from Cooking for Engineers. Blogger Michael Chu explains it all, from the best way to brine to the optimal-size beer can and the tastiest blend of spices.
Roast Turkey with Alligator Stuffing
Unleash some wild Bayou flavor with this Cajun-style delicacy. The chefs at Hebert's stuff a whole boneless turkey with this one-of-a-kind rice stuffing that features onions, bell peppers, and alligator meat smothered in a zesty Cajun-spiced tomato sauce. Hebert's makes and ships a variety of New Orleans-style stuffed turkeys, but the alligator caught our eye.

Gus Shows off His Handmade Pug-Spider Halloween Costume
Sandie Samuells made a pug-spider Halloween costume for her little black pug dog named Gus. Gus has since worn his costume when he is out walking and at several events. It isn’t every day people see pug-spider so there have been plenty of photo opportunities. Lucky for us, Sandie took advantage of them.I contacted Sandie for permission to use her Flickr photos and asked if she could tell me a little about the costume. Here’s what she said, “Since he is a black pug, I thought it would be cute to dress Gus as a tarantula. I found a spider ornament (sold as a home decoration) that had these long, furry pipe cleaner legs and I used those to make the legs of the costume. I used black craft fur and cut out a dog “coat” using one of Gus’ jackets as a pattern. A glue gun to attach the legs, some velcro to close the coat and voila.
The most important ingredient here is a very patient pug! Once he has the costume on, Gus doesn’t even know why people are staring at him! In fact, sometimes he gets stuck because he doesn’t realize how wide he is and tries to squeeze through ‘normal’ width places.”
Other inspired to make their own dogs’ Halloween costumes, will be hard-pressed to do better than Gus’ scary pug-spider garb.
